Bahá'u'lláh revealed a prayer to be used on the occasion of the interment of a person. It is the only "congregational" prayer in the Bahá'í Faith. It is to be read aloud by one person, while those present stand in silence. There are then six verses, which are each repeated nineteen times. Each of these is preceded by the greeting, "Alláh-u-Abhá!" There are two slightly different forms, for a man or a woman.
